Thanks to Stevie Graham for sending in this report from the WWE house show in Binghamton, NY this past Saturday:

Hi guys, been seeing a lot of posts regarding the Saturday Night house show in Binghamton, NY... here's what went down for those of us down at ringside:

Opening match saw John Morrison go over Mike Knox. Morrison worked the crowd well, and is even more ridiculously ripped in person! Knox stalked around the ring like an effective monster heel, and looked to be working pretty stiff with Morrison. JM wins with his split-legged corkscrew moonsault.

The second match saw The Hart Dynasty defeat Evan Bourne and the returning Hurricane Helms! The Harts came out first, with Natalia cutting her usual in-ring promo running down the credentials of each member of the Dynasty. Bourne and Hurricane were both really over with the crowd. Lots of "Hur-i-cane" chants. Helms came to the ring in his green superhero outfit, but also had the trench coat and bandanna from his last run... Bourne worked most of the match for his team, but Helms actually surprised me with some of the bumps he was taking. The finish came when the Dynasty hit Helms with the Hart Attack (with Tyson Kidd coming off the top rope with the clothesline... very cool-looking, hope they keep using this version!).

Before the third match, Drew McIntyre took to the ring and cut a heel promo against the NY State Troopers. To be honest, the sound was bad all night in the arena, so I barely heard anything that he was saying... but that lead to the biggest treat of the night for me... Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat!

The reports of this match not being too over with the fans is really only half-accurate. Yes, this was very rest-hold heavy. McIntyre has an AWESOME look, but clearly needed a lot of coaching in the ring. Once he gets his bearings on the bigger stage, he may end up being really good, as he played the "bad guy" role very well. The only time people started the "boring" chant was when McIntyre was in control. Anything Steamboat did got a huge pop out of the crowd. There were a few instances where they even started "you've still got it" chants. Steamboat gets the win with his body press, and my date gets goosebumps from seeing a legend that neither of us expected to see! Steamboat was great with the fans, taking a lap around to slap hands and thank everyone for their support.

On a side note, I wouldn't be shocked to see McIntyre moved up to ECW soon... or possibly to Smackdown to feud with John Morrison in a battle of who has the most abs!
